To compile the xf86-input-wacom driver, I just only used don570's tuto (see page 14 this thread as don570 do in his above post), no more, no less ! Again, thanks don570 for it !

So, as told in the old linux-wacom-project website from kernel later than 2.6.35, and X server from version 1.7, only the xf86-input-wacom driver needs to be compiled.

This is more simpler than compiling the kernel driver (need to install the kernel source, and maybe headers, and better to have a full install ...).

To comment don570's tutorial, the 3rd step «make install DESTDIR=/root/name_of_the_pet» is needed to get populated the /root/name_of_the_pet directory.
I tried the «new2dir make install» instead ... and got nothing to make a pet !

Now I just went to install latest dpup-exprimo-3.2.14 using an existing squeeze-save-3.2.x.11 (kernel 3.2.11) whom I had installed on the xf86-input-wacom-k3.2.11. Surprisingly, I also got the wacom tablet working (pressure sensitivity) despite the kernel upgrade !

Hope this helps
Charlie
ps: I now need to do some cleaning work on my PCs hdds. No more room indeed to install new isos, and do some compiling work.

Option "RandR" "on"

Bonjour Argolance,
Hi don570,
hope you all are doing at best !
Here is the latest driver wacom compiled for kernel 3.0.25 ( compiled on racy5.3 according to don570 tutorial see page 14 this thread ) and the corresponding xorg.conf that works here;

(note:
- from kernel 2.6.35 and later the "SendCoreEvents" after InputDevice is no longer required
- kernels serie 3.X come with wacom.ko kernel driver already compiled; so only the xf86-input-driver still needs being compiled and installed)

- here running with bamboo MTE-450A + touchring (I do not use this ring...!); as also a Volito1 (that driver support all wacom USB tablets type as far as I know - do not know for serial)
- Tested only on mtpaint: pressure sensitivity works!

YYYYYEEEESSSS! (... No comment!)
@charlie6 & @don570
Thank you so much to both of you. This was indeed the only thing that prevented me from passing completely from the version 4.31 to the version 5.3 of Puppy... Done!
Had finally nothing to change inside my Xorg.conf file: just install the pet package and restart X!
